eleventh bull ( video )

[pontificus]

( Seelie )

[It is too soon that she stands in this place once again with her locket pointing at her. It is clear she is emotional, her state of dress frenzied. Lucrezia has been crying, that is for sure, but she wears a sterner look now.]

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the death of Governor Fortuna of Treun. [It has long been unsafe here, but with such a bold move again, she shakes her head.]

First his dear sisters, and now he seems to follow them. I have little details myself, but whoever has done this-- [Her jaw tightens, flexes for a moment.] I would reward anyone handsomely for anything they could tell me.

[But she is not just a grieving family member. She is a diplomat. So Lucrezia takes another deep breath.]

Regardless of who the city may elect, I will still honor all trade and all alliances that have been thusly made.

[She rubs at her nose, her hand shaking uncontrollably. There is a lightheadedness that threatens her, and she knows she must lie down.]

I know of the plague. Naples suffered from its destruction not long ago.

I believe this sickness has swept through this land rather quickly. If it has not, then surely it will soon. [And while she is mostly secured for the time being, given the political turmoil, but that did not mean it would remain so.]

Were you there, during the outbreak? It's an experience I'll never be able to forget.

( It definitely will, seeing as it seems to be spread by touch; and people here have a fondness for doing just that. )

That's a certainty. It must be managed, as well as treated. This book you speak of may hold the key to doing both.

I was not. I was in Rome, kept far from it. [It is not something she would like to have been present for, and certainly her father would have had her whisked away from any potential harm.]

I hope to find such a solution.
